I am new to both Reynolds and Prosper, but I already feel like a part of the family here because of the culture that is widespread.  This will be my 14th year teaching altogether, and I spent 13 years teaching elementary and middle school in Mesquite.  I am married to my wonderful husband, David, and we have 3 kids (Chandler, Hannah, & Parker) who we love dearly.  My two oldest are in high school and my youngest is in first grade.  We do have 2 little fur babies at home (1 dog and 1 cat) who love to keep us on our toes!  I lived in Mesquite all of my life and graduated from Mesquite High School in 2000.  I received my Bachelors in 2005 from the University of Texas at Arlington and my Masters in 2007 from Texas A&M Commerce.  I enjoy reading, movies, swimming, spending time with family, and trying new things.  I truly love teaching middle school!  It is a mission to instill a love for learning and for reading & writing in my students.  I always attempt to teach with a passion for my subject so that my students develop a desire to become life-long learners.
